Flying at Hoogeveen Airport


This is the Schleicher ASK-21, the twinseater used as the main trainingsplane at the flightclub hoogeveen (http://www.vliegclubhoogeveen.nl/). The plain is 21 years old, but still very good.
I flew saturday in Hoogeveen with nice weather. Getting my Gliders Pilot Licence is very time consuming, three flights on a day is the average. In Hoogeveen the planes are town up on a cable behind a motorplane to a hight of 1200 ft or 450 mtrs. That alows a longer flight than a cable start. To get your licence you need at least 100 flights, that is 35 days on the airfield.
